What does God want?

One week we had two sheets out for folks to write on. One had “What I know God wants all Christians to do” and the other had “What I know God wants me to do.” Here are the results we got.
All Christians: love mercy, pray without ceasing, fear not, trust Him – have faith in Him, go into all the world & share His gift of salvation, be an ambassador, praise Him.
Me: be creative, forgive, be patient, love others, be selfless, pursue Him.

Then we had a sign with the following:
Think about what God means when his word says:

Delight yourself in the lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. -Psalm 37:4

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. - Psalm 145:18-19

Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the spirit desires. -Romans 8:5
